Lets start of with sickness. Jude has yet to get completely rid of his cough. The doctor finally said it wasn't a cold and wasn't sure what was going on. We were referred to a pulmonologist in Peoria. Chad and I made the trip up there last Friday. After a three hour visit, the pulmonologist decided that Jude cought some kind of virus in the beginning of January and these symptoms (cough/congestion/runny nose) are the residual effects of it. He does not think it is allergies. He is concerned about the spit up so Jude is on acid reflux medicine and we are already mixing cereal into his milk. Next week we are going to try to give him cereal out of a bowl! OH BOY! He also requested x-rays and labs. I took Jude yesterday to get the x-ray. The device they used looked like a torture device used in the 1950s. It was ridiculous. I attached a photo of the device used (obviously not Jude but you get the idea). This kid doesn't look like he minds but let me tell you... Jude did. He was SCREAMING. I felt awful. The funny thing is, he didn't cry at all when they drew blood for his labs. He stopped "talking" to the nurses... but he didn't cry.
I don't have the results of the labs or x-ray yet but I am keeping my fingers crossed that everything is normal.
Jude is doing great at daycare. He is such a happy baby - even with this crazy "cold" he has had. He wakes up in the morning and "talks" like crazy. Lately, his chatter has turned into high pitched squeals and squeaks. I think he realizes now that the noise is coming from him. It is amazing to watch him learn.
Chad is busy brushing up on his German and is trying to teach him as much as possible. I am teaching him English (haha) and sign language.
I love reading to Jude. Chad just bought a new book for him titled "When I Grow Up". I love it! It is a must for a kids book.
I just love to listen to Jude babble when being read to. He will pay attention for quite a few books before he gets squirmy. I also love to listen to Chad read to him. My mother-in-law even got a chance to read to him last time she was down. Nothing beats my little man in your lap with a good, cute storybook.
We bought Jude some new toys but I don't have photos of him in them yet. I will get to that next time!The biggest news... HE ROLLED OVER! YAY! He does it so quickly now and then he "swims" on his belly until he gets tired. It is adorable. He is also standing (with help) and he will even take steps. A friend told Chad that if he even thinks about walking to "push him down". He said that we don't want him mobile yet. haha
In other news... Chad and I are gearing up for our trip to Boston. The girls are doing AWESOME. Tempest let Jude pet him and Rhyme let Jude pull her skin. OUCH! She just looked at Jude with a "can you let go, pretty pretty please" look. :) They are the best girls ever!
Okay... I wanted to be in bed by 10:00. It is now... 10:41. Geesh! (AGAIN!)
